Pros

On the job education and opportunities to advance. KPMG also has great opportunities to work abroad or seek international experience. Yearly training programs are fully funded including travel expenses. You will not find experience like this in the private sector. Working for KPMG will prepare you for a job as an accountant or controller in whatever industry you wish to pursue. KPMG also treats you like family. They are the friendliest of the big 4 and are always willing to take time talking to prospective new hires. Overall, a fantastic organization. The only downside is you will work a lot.

Cons

Work life balance is difficult to achieve.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
